Comments:

A few hours after the start my antennas were iced up. 160, 80 and 40 meter
antennas were now resonant below the bands. I couldn't match the 160. Chose an
early bedtime. In the middle of the Saturday morning run the SO2R controller and
PC locked up. After rebooting it was still dead. Had to rewire for 1 radio and
grab a Winkeyer. I checked the SO2R controller later and it worked so I wired
back to SO2R. I think there is some residual voltage that has to drain for it to
recover. It worked fine in the previous contests this fall. This scenario
repeated twice more. 160 and 80 condx were poor for my LP Saturday night so more
sleep. Monitored 10 each day to pick up the few EU stations that came through.
But I knew the lower flux wouldn't repeat the SSB condx. Still a fun time. I
couldn't find the checkbox for the Classic Murphy category.
